Stonehouse railway station is a railway station that serves the town of Stonehouse in Gloucestershire, England. The station is located on the Swindon-Gloucester "Golden Valley" line.

The station has two platforms, and is served by First Great Western: operating services from London Paddington to Gloucester and Cheltenham using HST and "Adelante" Class 180 trains, and local services from Swindon to Gloucester and Cheltenham using the former Wessex Trains Class 150 two carriage sets.

The station was formerly called Stonehouse Burdett Road to distinguish it from a second station, Stonehouse (Bristol Road), on the line between Bristol and Gloucester. Stonehouse Bristol Road closed to passengers under the Beeching Axe in 1965 and to goods traffic the following year.

Current Services

Stonehouse station is served on a Monday to Friday by:
> 18 Swindon bound trains, 8 of which continue to London Paddington via Reading
> 18 Gloucester bound trains, 17 of which continue to Cheltenham Spa.

The Greater Western Franchise's new timetable came into effect on 11th December 2006. Thanks to First Great Western, Stonehouse has benefited from an almost hourly clockface timetable throughout the day Monday to Friday, instead of the large and small gaps between services which can be seen in the previous timetable.

Ticket Office Information

The station has a ticket office, located on the Gloucester bound platform, which is only open in the morning peak on Mondays to Saturdays:
Monday - Friday: 0625 to 0955
Saturday: 0710 to 1040
Sunday: Closed

At times when the ticket office is closed, the station is unmanned.
